Age? What About It?

Do photons really "not age", or do they age but just don't show the signs of aging?

Question:

Isn't a clock/watch (timepiece) just a "perspective" mechanism? Or is it a simple guide?

I find, in my opinion, that we (us humans) use the timepiece as a measurment tool that "pounds out"/"shapes" the history puzzle. We apply the effects of time to everything (age). What makes photons so different. Or once again I ask, do they not appear to show their age?

Peace

Rob
